Deconstruct

use to tell my mom I would not eat anything unless I saw her eat it to prove to me she liked it. The kids in this commercial are doing the same thing. I think this commercial is really cute and that is why I thought this would be a good one to deconstruct. This commercial has association in it because it is using fisher price which is something that people already like so they are hoping it will help those people like life cereal too. This commercial used bandwagon showing kids that other kids are eating it so they should too. I think it also kinda had a little bit of humor in it showing that this kid doesn't like anything then saying he likes something that is healthy for him when the other children don't. It uses plain folks so people can relate to them eating breakfast because many celebrates don't eat cereal for breakfast so people wouldn't really relate to them. It has warm and fuzzy in it by showing the cute kids and making parents think it is cute to have their kids eat the same cereal. I think all these are in this commercial and that is why I think this commercial does so good.

Childhood and TV

I was not allowed to watch much tv when i was a young girl. I was always told to go outside and play and be active and not sit in front of the tv and do nothing. I think this has helped me as a young adult. It has made me active so I am not going to be obese by sitting around doing nothing and it has shown me that not sitting and watching tv is a good thing and I will now pass that down to my son.

TV Ratings

I think tv rating are a good idea. I think that they help protect children from things they shouldn't see or hear. I feel like an adult might not say something in front of children but then they would say it on tv hoping no children were watching or listening. This is were the ratings come in to stop children or at least warn the parents that this is going to have some bad things in it that they might not want their kids to hear or see.
